ifs Axles And Swaps - ford 9 Inch Front Axle - Photo 11

The Ford 9-inch is also available as a solid front axle with custom fabricated front housings, such as this one from Spidertrax. High- and low-pinion third members, as well as various gear ratios and lockers, are available. We would consider a front 9-inch up to a 40-inch tire because we find their lighter weight appealing over a Dana 60 for a go-fast, solid-axle 4x4.
